Study of the Electromechanical Models for Cardiac Activity
(2017-05)
The mathematical modeling of the complex physical phenomena occurring in the heart is an area of increasing interest, as it facilitates the better understanding of relevant mechanisms driving the behavior of the system in ...
Semi-supervised Clustering of Facial Expressions
(2017-11)
Automated facial expressions recognition (FER) is an important area in computer vision and machine learning due to its eminent role in human-machine interaction. FER is key in building intelligent user interfaces, particularly ...
Rapid separation of bacteria from blood – Chemical aspects
(Elsevier, 2017)
To rapidly diagnose infectious organisms causing blood sepsis, bacteria must be rapidly separated from blood, a very difficult process considering that concentrations of bacteria are many orders of magnitude lower than ...
Cytosolic Delivery of Doxorubicin from Liposomes to Multidrug-Resistant Cancer Cells via Vaporization of Perfluorocarbon Droplets
(MedCrave, 2017)
A common mechanism of multidrug resistance is the upregulation of efflux pumps in the cancer cells that can more rapidly export unwanted materials (e.g. cancer drugs) out of the cell, compared to sensitive cancer cells. ...
Android mobile app for real-time bilateral Arabic sign language translation using leap motion controller
(IEEE, 2017)
This paper introduces an android mobile App for real-time bilateral Arabic sign language translation. The system is designed to operate on isolated sign language words. The mobile App has four main components; sign language ...
Strengthening of reinforced concrete beams in flexure with side bonded CFRP laminates
(Conference on Durability of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites for Construction and Rehabilitation of Structures (CDCC 2017), 2017-07)
Carbon fiber reinforcement polymer CFRP laminates are widely used nowadays in civil engineering applications to externally strengthen structural concrete elements against deficiencies in flexure and shear. These deficiencies ...
Muslim Women's Evolving Leadership Roles: A Case Study of Women Leaders in an Immigrant Muslim Community in Post-9/11 America
(Sage, 2017)
Based on three years of ethnographic fieldwork in a multi-ethnic immigrant Muslim congregation in a Midwestern city in the United States, this paper scrutinizes the intricate process through which women uses traditional ...
Novel Classification System for Classifying Cognitive Workload Levels under Vague Visual Stimulation
(IEEE, 2017-07)
This paper presents a novel method for classifying four different levels of cognitive workload. The workload levels are generated using visual stimuli degradation. EEG signals recorded from 16 subjects were used for workload ...
Use of Model Predictive Control and Artificial Neural Networks to Optimize the Ultrasonic Release of a Model Drug From Liposomes
(IEEE, 2017)
The use of echogenic liposomes to deliver chemotherapeutic agents for cancer treatment has gained wide recognition in the last 20 years. Cancerous cells can develop multiple drug resistance (MDR), in part, due to the drop ...
The impact of constant effort harvesting on the dynamics of a discrete-time contest competition model
(Wiley, 2017)
In this paper, we study a general discrete–time model representing the dynamics of a contest competition species with constant effort exploitation. In particular, we consider the difference equation xn+1 = xnf(xn−k) − hxn ...
